"What the hell is happening?" Wheeljack roared. I was still staring at my sire. It is hard to believe that I was actually able to find him. More like he found me. Optimus put me back on the ground and transformed into his alt. The door to the semi opened quickly and out jump Optimus in his holoform. He had on a pair of black square toed boots, with a single silver chain wrapped around the heels. He had on a pair of faded black jeans, sporting an Autobot belt buckle. He had on a Dark blue leather jacket with red accents and red Autobot symbol on the shoulders zipped up showing part of a black t-shirt underneath. He had black fingerless gloves on, that he slowly took off as he was walking towards me. As he got closer, I started to notice is his facial features. He had short brunette hair, same color as mine, at least 2-3 inches at the top, then was a low fade to the bottom of his neck. His perfect chiseled jawline was covered with a few-day old growth of beard and, though looked neatly kept. His eye were just like mine, sharp. His electric blue eyes, just like mine. Though all Autobots have that color eyes. His eyes stared down deeply at me. Sadness and love showing though.

He got close to me. Both of our mouths parted slightly. I looked up at him, taking it all in. He spread his arms out and wrapped them around me. My hands shook as I brought them up around him. My head leaned into his chest. Tears started to break though my eyes. I gave a quiet sniffle and he hugged me tighter, giving me a gentle kiss on my head and resting there. "My sparkling. Oh how I've missed you. Your carrier would be so proud of you." Optimus leaned back to look at me. He moved a strand of hair out if my face. I could see a tear about to let go, coming out of his eyes. I tried to smile, but I started to cry instead. Realizing my carrier is not here anymore. He pulled me back into his chest. "It's okay. I'm here now. I'm so sorry." He whispered to me.

I wiped the tears out of my eyes and looked up at him again. "I didn't think I'd ever find you again." Optimus told me, also wiping tears out of his eyes. "It makes sense why you felt a pull to me." I gave a small laugh, trying to lighten the mood. I look over to Wheeljack, who was in a conversation with Ratchet, finally getting an explanation. He looked down to me. "Wheeljack, I found my sire." I said trying not to start crying again. He knelt down and gave me a huge grin. "Yes you did. I'm so happy for you." He agreed. I looked back at Optimus and he said, "We have a lot to catch up on." "You already know most of it. All I did was try and survive." I told him. "You have a lot to catch me up on." I continued as I poked him in the chest with my finger. He gave a quiet laugh. "First, I want you to come back to base with me. Please, I need you with me. So, I can protect you better." He stated. I backed up a little. I just found my sire and he already wants me to move in with him. I give a quick glance to Wheeljack. I'm not sure what I should say or do.

"Optimus, I'm not sure that's a good idea just yet. You two haven't seen each other in eons. It's going to take time to adjust." Ratchet intervened. Optimus looked up at Ratchet and gave a low sigh. "You are right, Old friend." He agreed and looked back at me. "I won't make you come just yet and being a Prime I have a lot of responsibilities to attend to. I'd like you to at least come to base during the day. Then at night you can come back here." He suggested. I thought about this for a moment. It would make it easier for us to get to know each other and to hear about what he's been doing. "Um I guess we could try it. You need to take some Energon back to your base anyway." I slowly said. His eyes seemed to light up with happiness. It made me smile, knowing he's happy. He pulled me into another hug. 

"I wish I could hug you in my real form." I whispered into his chest. "I know, my sparkling. We will find away to get you back, but for now this works just fine." He comforted. "Wheeljack is allowed to come with the base right?" I asked leaning back a little. "No! All he will do is cause more havoc." Ratchet yelled. "Thanks, Doc. I feel the love." Wheeljack said sarcastically. I covered my mouth to laugh. Ratchet gave him a solid glare. "Yes, he can." Optimus replied to me. I gave a small jump of joy and went over to Wheeljack. "You can come with." I yelled up to him. "I don't think, Doc, really wants me to come." He said sadly. "Stop calling me Doc!" Ratchet yelled in Wheeljack's ear. Wheeljack pointed his thumb at Ratchet. "See." He stated. I looked at Ratchet with a pouty face. First, he gave me a scoff. Then, he tried to look away. "Please, Ratchet." I pleaded. Ratchets shoulders slouched and he crossed his arms. "Ugh, Fine." he muttered. I again jumped for joy. "It will be a great time, Sunshine." Wheeljack teased. This made doc bot furious, but instead of punching Wheeljack, like I'm sure he wanted, he choose to storm out of the shop. All of us staring at him, watching him leave. 

"Let's get going shall we?" Optimus said as he dissipated and went back to is original form. I gave a large smile and walked over to where I kept my energon. "Want to grab some Energon first?" I asked. Optimus nodded and called for Ratchet to come back in. I opened up the floor and moved the bigger cylinders forward for them to each grab one. "This is amazing. We will defiantly be able to step up our game in this war." Ratchet awed as he stared at the Synthetic Energon. Optimus then called for a ground bridge. Before I followed I had my real form pick me up and we walked forward. There was no way I was going to leave it behind. The ground bridge appeared out of thin air. A swirling vortex, something I had never used. I stood there looking at it for a moment. My sire and Ratchet already through. I felt Wheeljack rub my shoulder with his digit. I looked over to him and gave him a nervous smile. "You'll get used to it." He told me with a comforting smile. I gave him a slight nod and walked through. 

On the other side was a whole different world. I couldn't believe my eyes. The Autobots base was inside a old missile silo. It was an amazing sight to see. While I was staring in awe at the base, Wheeljack left to go greet Bulkhead. I eventually turned my head and noticed a platform area with an old couch and tv. Then I remembered, the three human allies. There they were, standing on the platform, leaning against the railing. I backed up, my hands up in defense, on my servo bringing it closer to my chassis. I stared in horror. I should of remembered them. Their smiling faces soon turned in to upset frowns. Optimus soon noticed after putting the energon away. He ran up and came in front of me, blocking them from my view. "Quicktrigger, its okay. They are friends. They will never hurt you. I promise you." He explained. I wanted to believe him, but I was having a hard time. They are only children, but they could still be dangerous. 

"The only one you have to really worry about is Miko." Ratchet said with a little anger showing in his voice. "She won't hurt you though. She is just very outgoing." Bulkhead finished. "Would you like me to introduce you?" Optimus asked, showing me his servo. I slowly walked on. He walked over to them and placed his servo in front of them. "This is Raf" He moved me in front of the shortest one with glasses who gave me a happy nod, "This is Jack," He moved me in front of a tall boy, with black hair and he gave a nervous wave, "And this is Miko." Last he moved me in front of Miko, she had black and pink hair up in two pigtails, and a miss max outfit I didn't quite understand. She gave me a very exciting wave. "So, your Shelby. We've heard about you from the other bots. Bumblebee told us about the time you taught him how to ride a dirt bike. Then about you helping Wheeljack. Are you going to be an Autobot now? Will you stay here? Got any blasters?" Miko started going off with question after question. "Miko, that's enough. Can't you see she's scared enough. She's obviously not used to humans." Jack interrupted her. He doesn't know the half of it, but I do thank him for shutting her up. "Sorry." She quietly apologized. 

I couldn't speak. I felt like my voice box had been ripped out. I stared at them, not in horror anymore but in nervousness now. They seem nice enough but this will take some time getting used too. As long as Sire and Wheeljack are with me, I think I'll be okay. "This is Quicktrigger." Optimus introduced me using my real name. "I thought her name was Shelby." Miko piped up. I dipped back in fear. I forgot they probably don't know the real story. "Yeah and is someone going to explain the Synthetic Energon?" Arcee raised her voice. This made me want to crawl into  a whole and die. "She is my lost sparkling. She changed her name after," He gave me a quick look, as if to ask if he could talk about it. I gave him a quick nod and he continued, "She was captured by M.E.C.H. and got away. She pretended to be human after that." There was a loud gasp throughout the room. "Your a holoform?" Miko asked in shock. All I could do was nod my head. I was now sitting on Optimus's servo with my knees to my chest and my arms wrapped around them. 

"She is unable to go back to her real body." Optimus told them. "That's horrible. I don't wish that on anybody." Bulkhead sympathized. "Okay, but what about the energon?" Arcee asked again. "Before her creator and I sent her off planet, Alpha Trion asked to give her something that could help her when she landed. He transferred the formula into her processor, so she could keep it safe and keep herself alive. Seeing as she wasn't able to be given any weapons, being so young." Optimus explained. Now I knew why it was given to me. The other bots looked at me in awe. "That's my girl." Wheeljack said proudly. I could feel my cheeks heat up as I try and hide my smile. 

"My girl?" Arcee repeated, her hands on her hips, giving Wheeljack a 'you got to be kidding me' look. Optimus shot him a glare. This can't be good. "Well to be fair, I didn't know she was Primes sparkling." Wheeljack defended himself. Optimus looked at me, he bared his teeth, clearly angry about the situation. "There is no way, I'm letting you be with Wheeljack." He bellowed. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "You have no control over who I want to be with." I snapped. "I am your sire, and you are still a youngling. I have control." Optimus recalled. "You haven't been in my life for eons and you think you can just come back in and take over my life. Wheeljack was in my life first, before you came along." I objected. He didn't say anything back. He clenched his fist, and I saw his optics refocus. He knew I was right. He just didn't want to admit it.  He then put me down and pointed his finger to Wheeljack, "This conversation isn't finished." He stated and walked away.
